Im a 35 yr female, 53 146 lbs. Ive had two children 10 years apart. After my last child I had full abdominoplasty, with lipo 360 and diastaisis recti repair. Ive had this bulge at the top of my abdomen that appeared 4 days post op. Im 7 months post op and I was hoping it was something my body could reabsorb. My surgeon wants to do surgeryHow can I tell if its a seroma vs hematoma vs ruptured sutures on my abdomen wall?
I had a MMO 6 months ago, and got a second intervention 3 days after to remove a hematoma that formed on the right size of my abdomen under my belly button. I got umbilical float tt. I did not have much skin and my wrinkles were pretty much around the belly button. I still have a pouch on my lower abdomen and sometimes looks like 2 pouches (lower and upper) What could it be? Dr says still inflammation. I used to look flatter before TT. I am adding before and after pics. Please help.
3 days post we found out I had Necrosis which my surgeon removed with a minor surgery. Post that I developed seroma right next to the Necrosis site. Surgeon made an incision and left it open, it leaks fluid and I use a pad to absorb it. Every 3 days my surgeon drains it, cleanes it and leaves it open. Later I also developed Hematoma on my right side of flanks. The doctor made a cut and drained out the blood twice so far and left it open. Am I heading the right direction?
And I don't mean scar issues or hematoma. I mean actual issues with the muscle repair. My right side of my muscle repair surgery has felt stitched down since I woke up from my surgery, 5 years ago. I questioned my doc about it for two years, until he retired. Never getting a satisfactory answer. He definitely wanted to avoid the topic. Utilized buried uninterrupted figure8 #O Nurolon suture.

I had surgery 4/20 in the DR and developed a hematoma approximately 2 months post-op. I F/u with PCP who stated watch it. 2 wks after appt. the area was red, swollen, and had an abscess. I went to ER was admitted; I had I & D and IV Vanco. Dcd on Doxycycline BID x 2wks and Bactrim BID x 7 days. I f/u with PS who gave me a script for drainage under guided US that I had on 7/9 with approximately 8ml of fluid removed and I still have fluid, discoloration, and hardness remaining.
I had a TT on 6/27, and noticed my drain had stopped collecting on 6/28. I was told to milk the line and come back on 6/29 where I was told I had a hematoma. I have double homo MTHFR and was on lovenox.That was discontinued. Since then I have gotten 150/160ml between 4pm and 2:30am. I've been alternating a warm BAG, massage, milking, and cold compress. Is there anything else? Do I lie flat or sit up? I have an appointment tomorrow 6/30 to hear options. Will this ruin my results? I'm so upset.
I just recently have a tummy tuck and liposuction, after my doctor remove the drainage I was still collecting seroma and my doctor extracted with a syringe. a two weeks after my last extraction I feel like a hard ball on the top part of my abdomen close to my ribs cage. is the a hematoma or seroma? will massage help to minimize and how long would it last?
I am 3 months post op from tummy tuck, I had a hematoma removed 2 weeks post op. I am still extremely swollen on lower abdomen and does not show any signs of going down. I'm also concerned about belly button scar. I have attached before and after pics. My ps says give it 6 months but I am really discouraged right now. Pics attached before and after
